One thing I love about the age we live in is that I can make videos of my kid easily. Any time we go to the park, I can take a few hundred pictures, the phone processes everything, and turns it all into one big video.
For instance, during a recent trip home, I video recorded my dad walking around a small pond. It strangely reminded me of another video.
Anyway, I went to the park with Evie a few times over the past couple of weeks and made some great little videos. During the course of one of the little trips, I noticed a distinct pattern in my child's behavior: she is fascinated with autumn leaves.
No, check that.
She's fascinated with throwing these leaves at her dad.
Evie will run all over the park and gather up as many leaves as she can, just to disperse them at me with the highest velocity she can manage with her little arms. She's also let me know that one of her deepest desires is to make a huge pile and jump in them, but since we have currently have no yard of our own and maintenance actually does a good (albeit annoyingly so) job of keeping the leaves picked up around our home, it's hard to get that arranged.
For the moment, though, throwing stuff at her old man really seems to keep her happy. It's just leaves, it's not like she's throwing daggers or small automobiles at me, so I guess I can't complain.
